What Makes Robin’s Resumes® Stand Out from the Competition

I’ve often counseled job seekers on how to make their resumes stand out from the competition, but how does Robin’s Resumes® stand out from all the other resume writing companies out there?

Credentials. I am a Certified Master Resume Writer, Certified Professional Resume Writer, Certified Federal Resume Writer and Job and Career Transition Coach. You can check out my full credentials on my website About page.

Peer recognition. Not only have I won numerous industry awards, but I have been called upon to mentor other professional resume writers and to serve as an officer in resume industry groups.

Experience and education. I’ve worked as a resume writer for both civilian and government clients at all levels of experience for more than 12 years now, eventually opening my own resume writing company in 2006. My degree from MIT and years as a software, process and quality engineer also uniquely qualify me to write technical resumes.

Connections with hiring managers and recruiters. I take the time to research and maintain contact with hiring managers and recruiters so that I always know what they are looking for in a resume and how their approach to hiring has changed, such as their increased use of Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS).

Dedication to my clients. My blogs, seminars, webinars and social networking all aim at giving you the tools and information to upgrade your resume and recognize when you need more help. For example, check out my webinar at Career Realism.

I look forward to working with you.

Fourth, I understand how to present a technical career so that it will pass safely through electronic Applicant Tracking Systems and then impress both the general Human Resources manager and the specific technical manager who is trying to find the ideal candidate.

Certifications for Resume Writers

When you are looking for a resume writer, you want someone with credentials. Two organizations provide the industry’s finest certifications.

One is the Professional Association of Resume Writers & Career Coaches (PARW/CC), founded in 1990. As they explain on their website, before 1990, “there had been no association for career professionals to exchange information, enhance their skills, or demonstrate their commitment to providing professional services to the general public. Today, those who display the association’s logo affirm their dedication to excellence in meeting client career goals. In addition, many members then choose to seek certification to further affirm their expertise as career professionals.”

PARW/CC members must pass a timed test of their industry knowledge, writing skills and strategic thinking and submit a sample resume before they can become Certified Professional Resume Writers (CPRW).

Career Directors International provides certification that a writer is the “best of the best”: a Certified Master Resume Writer (CMRW). The writer must first have their CPRW; write a 1000-word article or essay on resume writing; and submit seven professional resumes for review by a panel of experts who are already certified masters.

In addition to being a CPRW and CMRW, I am a Certified Federal Resume Writer, which requires completing a course in federal requirements and hiring processes and taking a timed exam.

My certifications ensure you that I am a knowledgeable, trained and respected resume writing professional. Contact me today at Robin’s Resumes®.
